Tue, 03 Mar 2015 21:27:53 +0000en-us Established in November 2000, SHOWstudio?s innovative and ground-breaking projects have defined the manner in which fashion is presented via the Internet. SHOWstudio has pioneered fashion film and is now recognized as the leading force behind this new medium, offering a unique platform to nurture and encourage fashion to engage with moving image in the digital age.
In order to continue SHOWstudio?s exploration of fashion illustration, this editorial launched at the start of Spring/Summer 2013 Haute Couture week (from 21 ? 24 January) ? with the initial illustration component livestreamed from SHOWstudio?s London studio. The figures themselves were prepared in advance so that the livestream focus could be on the development of a new garment by the end of each day.
Upon the completion of Haute Couture week, an additional two weeks was given to illustrate the floral backgrounds and added elements, as well as to animate the entire collection. Launched on the 12th of February, the complete animated editorial features weeping looks from designers Dior, Elie Saab, Valentino, Giambattista Valli and Chanel.]]> Established in November 2000, SHOWstudio?s innovative and ground-breaking projects have defined the manner in which fashion is presented via the Internet.

Nothing Gold Can Stay is a five piece animated editorial that situates each garment floating in an open sky amidst a sea of passing clouds.
The clouds, varying in size and shape, pass through each composition in a different direction ? meant to create the effect of the garments swinging back and forth in the open air. Sped up to cut the overall frame account, the movement in each GIF takes on a more time-lapse feel. All elements are hand drawn and arranged for animation with AfterEffects.]]> Inspired by McQueen creative director Sarah Burton?s approach, whose aim in this collection was to show a ??lightness, the sense that the dresses were hovering,?

Understanding that the magazine?s approach to fashion is something that '?you feel by playing around and around and around?? with, it felt like a natural choice to appropriate the hypnotic quality of the print. The editorial is (literally) a playful spin on the mesmeric menswear collection.
Clothing is designed to be seen in movement, and with so much 'information-per-instance' ? the GIF is well-suited to tell this story. A static version of the 'Thou Supersensual Libertine' is printed in commons&sense man Issue no. 13, available from September 27th.]]> Launched to coincide with the release of Japan?s commons&sense man issue no.13, ?Thou Supersensual Libertine? is a six part animated editorial of select Prada F/W 2012 pieces.

Charged with opportunity, pursuing their promise can become a precarious preoccupation. Undertow is a six piece collection that explores the perpetual chase of this elusive high.
Referencing the array of colour that reflects off oil pooled in water, the 'spills' themselves were created with gouache. Portraiture detailing was created with graphite.]]> Unknowns are seductive.

The Fashion Department at the Antwerp Academy, accredited with developing the likes of Anne Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten and Martin Margiela, is long renowned for cultivating this special kind of spark. This year's Antwerp Masters graduates are of no exception ? Jantine Van Peski, Niels Peeraer, Frederick Hornof, Leonneke Derksen, En-Ya Vandenhende and Yusuke Hotchi are seven formidable young talents ? each with a distinct stamp to make on their craft.
